Sailing Canoe Chapter 7: Sew a Skin over the Hull Skeleton and Seal it.

The next time I came back to the island I brought a Singer Model 600 with me. It's the same thing as the Model 646 I brought before, but with a "triple stitch" feature. Being 46 digits older, it has metal gears.

Sew across the ends of the skin so it can be hooked over the ends of the canoe.
Pull it very tight so there are no wrinkles at the keel.
